In fact, Ji Nai did not say anything. She just whispered in Kangxi's ear: "I heard that regular massage can help lose weight. Your Majesty is very strong, can you help me? I have been pressed down at night recently and my chest is short of breath."

At dinner time, the two people who had been making a fuss all afternoon finally got up. Kangxi regretted with a satisfied look on his face why he had not controlled himself. He also secretly cursed the people in the Imperial Hospital for being useless, as they had not prepared the medicine after such a long time.

As for Ji Nai, she looked relieved because she had proved that, at least for now, she was still very attractive to Kangxi.

She silently calculated the birthdays of Changsheng and Yinzhi in her heart. In a few years, even if she really fell out of favor, it wouldn't matter.

Ji Nai did not care about falling out of favor in the future, because it was the most normal thing. No one can be perfect forever, and no flower can be red forever. Even if her beauty remained unchanged, after so many years, Kangxi would get tired of her one day. She was not as fresh as a young girl who had just entered the palace.

After all, as long as it does not affect the birth of Changhua and Yinzhi, it will be fine. She has fallen out of favor anyway, but she is not at odds with Kangxi. Just based on their old relationship and the child, Kangxi will give her the respect she deserves.

Therefore, Ji Nai was very open-minded about this matter, but not now.

In the following days, Kangxi often did some shameless things under the pretext of giving Ji Nai massages.

Now, Ji Nai and Yuan Xu could no longer fail to see that Kangxi was not disgusted by Ji Nai's fatness, it was obvious that he loved him the most, okay?

Ji Nai's chest was covered with bruises. The old wounds had not yet healed, and new wounds had appeared. He would never recover.

Ji Nai originally thought that such days would continue until he returned to Zhongcui Palace, until this day, when Ji Nai keenly discovered that the smell of incense in the bedroom had changed.

Ji Nai himself did not use incense, but after moving to the back hall of the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi lit incense for him because he was worried that he would not be used to the new place.

Kangxi explained that this incense only had a calming effect on the mind. He asked the imperial physician Liu to check it out and confirmed that it would not cause any harm to Ji Nai and the child.

Ji Nai asked, "Has the incense been changed today? It seems the smell is different from the previous few days." Ji Nai behaved as usual, as if he was really just curious about the smell of the incense.

Nanny Li became alert instantly. When living in the palace, one cannot make a wrong step. Things like incense are the easiest to cause trouble. Even though they are temporarily living in the Qianqing Palace and living under the nose of the Emperor, they cannot take it lightly.

Yuqing replied, "Yes, I changed it. Eunuch Liang sent it to me the day before yesterday. He said that this incense is more fragrant, so I changed it."

Madam Li scolded, "How can you act on your own, little girl? You didn't even ask the master."

Yuqing had always been in charge of Ji Nai's affairs. She could naturally make the decision on small matters like changing the incense, but Ji Nai had never done so before.

Upon hearing this, Yu Qing hurriedly apologized to Ji Nai, but there was some grievance on her face.

"My food, clothing, shelter and transportation are all taken care of by Yuqing. She has always served me very well and to my liking. I am used to leaving all these things to Yuqing. This incense smells really good, I just asked casually."

Seeing that her master was not going to pursue the matter, Nanny Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and softened her serious expression a little, "My master is kind and does not want to pursue the matter, but that does not mean that I, as a servant, can take over the matter."

Yu Qing was about to cry, "Master, Madam, I don't have such thoughts, and I would never dare to ignore you."

"I know you don't have this intention, but have you ever thought about the fact that you changed the incense on your own today without informing the master. If there is something wrong with the incense, wouldn't it harm the master?"

Seeing Yuqing's face turned pale with fear, Nanny Li continued to teach earnestly: "In the palace, incense, cloth, and medicinal materials are the easiest to tamper with. Didn't I teach you this before? Now this incense was sent by Your Majesty, so it's naturally impossible for it to be a problem. But if you get used to doing this, and let the master fall into the calculations of others without knowing it..."

Before Li Ma Ma finished her words, Yu Qing knelt down with a plop. Now, she didn't dare to feel a little wronged. If it was really because of her that the master was harmed, Yu Qing didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Master, this is my fault. I will not do this anymore. I will never make decisions on my own again. Next time, no, there will never be a next time!"

Yu Qing did not defend herself by saying "Because that was His Majesty, she was not on guard. If it was someone else, they would definitely not be so careless", because Yu Qing knew that she only had one master.

Since the master did not pursue the matter and Yuqing knew she was wrong, Nanny Li naturally would not keep holding on to it. She would let it go after scolding her, but she was still a little worried in her heart.

Before entering the palace, Nanny Li had heard of cases where men attacked their partners. After entering the palace, she also heard about the deeds of sisters who left the palace to get married. Naturally, she knew that sometimes men's methods were more cruel than those of women fighting in the harem.

Although she didn't think that the Emperor would harm his master, what if?

But now everyone is in the Qianqing Palace, under the nose of His Majesty, so even if they want to do something, they are afraid to do it.

After hesitating for a long time, Nanny Li decided to tactfully remind her master, "Didn't the master feel fat a few days ago? It happens that Imperial Doctor Wu will come to check on the pulse tomorrow. Would the master like to ask Imperial Doctor Wu for a prescription for weight loss?"

The focus of Nanny Li's words was naturally not on fat and the prescription. What she wanted to remind her master was that when she took his pulse tomorrow, she could take the opportunity to ask Doctor Wu.

After all, Doctor Wu owes them several favors at Zhongcui Palace. It should be possible just by leaking some information.

Ji Nai naturally understood what Li Ma'am meant. She gave Li Ma'am a look in return, but said, "Your Majesty said no, so then why not?"

"What don't you need?" Kangxi happened to walk in from outside and asked.

Ji Nai went to take off Kangxi's heavy court robes and said, "Your Majesty, you said I was fat before. Now, Nanny Li asked me if I wanted to ask the imperial physician for a weight loss prescription."

Seeing His Majesty looking at her, Nanny Li smiled awkwardly.

Kangxi did not comment on this. It was normal for the women in the palace to cater to his preferences, and it was also common for servants to make plans for their masters. Kangxi did not take it to heart.

But in the end, he still said, "Don't really lose weight."

A blush appeared on Ji Nai's face. If the servants were not there, she really wanted to throw the handkerchief in her hand at Kangxi's face.

Really, why do we have to emphasize this kind of thing again and again?
